My daughter got a 1430K from BF but few issues. I noticed a low rumble when volume is high. Could be ground, noticed looks like 3 prong plug but only 2 present can't tell if broke off as appears to be rubber inside, but maybe was hollow ground metal. Also speaker is cracked. So, my questions. Did this have a true 3 prong plug that I will replace. And what would be an appropriate replacement speaker for this player. Thanks for any help.
There was a time when I could say "Go to Radio Shack " and they would have all you need for your record player. To answer your questions about the rumbling, that is lack of a ground in the plug, cracked speak, and noise / sound coming out of player is being picked up by needle and coming back out of speaker. Solution: cut the old plug off and replace with 3 prong plug (hardware store). Look on back of record player and see if it has the info (watts and ohms) about speaker. If not, the speaker needs to be removed to get info. You can search online for a replacement speaker or your local guitar center has replacement speakers ( Call first ) P.S. If the record player has a lid, bring it down after you start record, keeps out outside noise.
Testimonial: "Agree about Radio Shack..we still have one around I think:) Will do plug and I think its a 10w speaker. Thanks much."
